The Mi Power Bank 2i, as Xiaomi has said, is “Made In India, Made For India.” Xiaomi has also announced that it will produce 7 power banks per minute in India. The power bank, just like the previous ones from Xiaomi will have an aluminium built. The power bank is made of anodised aluminium and the chipset will be made by Texas Instruments.

The 20000 mAh power bank also supports single port QuickCharge 3.0.

Since the new Mi Power Bank 2i is made for India, it is also extremely efficient since the Chinese tech giant has introduced dual USB ports for the first time in power bank lineup.

To give you an idea about how much capacity the 10000 mAh Mi Power Bank 2i has, it can charge the Redmi Note 4 (which has a 4100 mAh battery) 1.5 times and a Xiaomi Mi A1 up to 2.2 times on a single charge.

Xiaomi Launches New Noise Canceling Earphones, Power Bank And VR Headset In India

Xiaomi has launched three new products in India. A new 10000 mAh power bank, Mi VR Play 2 and Mi Noise Cancelling Earphones (Type-C) and will be available via mi.com.

The Mi VR Play 2 is priced at Rs 1299 and at first glance its hard to tell if you’re looking at the Mi VR Play 2 or the Google Daydream. Apart from a new design, the Mi VR Play 2 is also lighter than its predecessor. The exterior has been covered with soft fabric, which the company claims provides greater comfort.

The Mi Noise Canceling Earphones (Type-C) are only compatible with the Mi 5 and Mi Mix 2 smartphones. The earphones feature active noise cancellation between 50 – 2000Hz, enough to cut out ambient noise above 25dB. Xiaomi uses MEMS microphones in each earpiece to detect ambient noise and counterbalance it by using opposing frequencies. The earphones are acoustically tuned by Grammy award-winning tuner Luca Bignardi. The Mi Noise Cancelling Earphones are Hi-Res Audio certified, and use patented hybrid dual dynamic and balanced armature drivers to deliver a balanced sound. The earphones are priced at Rs 2999.

The next upgraded product is the Mi Power Bank Pro with a 10000 mAh capacity. It supports two-way fast charging, taking just 3.5 hours to be fully charged. If you own a smartphone that supports quick charging, you can expect your phone to be charged in under 2 hours. A Type-C adapter comes bundled with the power bank and because of it, the Mi Power Bank Pro can be used to charge smartphones, tablets, notebooks, and other mobile devices. The Mi Power Bank Pro is priced at Rs 1599 and is 42% thinner than its predecessor.

Xiaomi Releases the Mi Band Plus and Mi Power Bank

Xiaomi has released two new devices in China, one of them is a fitness band called the Mi Band Plus (or Mi Band 1S) and the second one is the Mi Power bank.

Mi Band Plus Or Mi Band 1s

What’s different about Xiaomi’s new fitness tracker? Well, it comes with a heart rate sensor, which was not present in the previous edition of Xiaomi’s fitness tracker, the Mi Band.

Let’s talk a little more about the heart rate sensor. Firstly, it is based on an optical heart monitoring technology which tracks the blood by illuminating the capillaries with LED. The heart rate sensor monitor will be available as an accessory to the Mi band package.

Apart from tracking one’s heart rate, the Mi Band Plus can also track steps and can estimate the calories burnt along with the distance covered. It is also capable of monitoring the quality of your sleep and can also reportedly nudge you with vibrations before your alarm wakes you up with a start. The Mi band Plus will also alert you for incoming calls and will let you unlock your phone with it.

With the functions out of the way, we can now move over to the slightly static design. The Mi Band Plus looks a lot like the Mi Band and comes with the same hardware and rubber strap. However, there is a slight difference in its weight by 0.5 gms and dimensions at 37×13.6×9.9 mm, which is just slightly larger than the Mi Band.

Mi Power Bank (20,000mAh)

Xiaomi has also announced the Mi Power Bank along with the Mi Band Plus or Mi Band 1S. This device will come with a capacity of 20,000 mAh and will come with a plastic body, as compared to the metal body that the company’s other power banks come with. Xiaomi has also mentioned that the battery within the device will be made by LG or Panasonic and will come with a conversion rate of 83 percent with a 5.1V and 3.6A output.

Both devices sound extremely promising, however, they have been released exclusively in China. The Mi Band Plus will be priced at $16 which is approximately Rs.1,062, while the Mi Power Bank is expected to be priced at $24 which is approximately Rs.1,593.

No word yet on when the devices will launch in India. We’ll update you as soon as we have more news on that.
